Today was lucky: the director and I sketched our way through Marvin's Room. It's a difficult show in that the script is realistic (though moments have a feel of "magic") with multiple, contrasting settings (warm home versus cool medical) and it's being produced in thrust in a intimate, low-ceilinged space, with no wings or ability to fly. Tricky.
I brought research and a very rough floor plan sketch - started towards realistic - together we moved towards more abstract until I think - among the lunch bowls and fortune cookie wrappers - we may have found a solution.
Good fun! Now I just gotta sketch it pretty - so it makes sense.
Hi Claire hope all is well with you.. Nice blog indeed

Thanks for catching that, John - it's corrected. I've gotten wonderful comments on the poem.
ReplyDeleteVery best of luck with your new book, John. You probably saw I have my own first (on set design) out... It's a bit like a new baby isn't it? You want to chase folks down the street, "Look! It's so cuuuute." (I try to stifle this impulse.)
